The Man to Beat Cleveland.

The modesty of Hon. Robert T.
Lincoln is not feigned. His adj.
ministration of the great office of
War Secretary brought his practi-
cal and eminent abilities before
the country in such way as that
all parties fully conceed them, and
he has not political opponent In
the country who doubts his integri-
ty, but his native modesty is such
that the universal mention of his
name rs the most available Presi-
dental nominee of the Republi-
can party, if not distasteful, is at
least embarrassing to him. This
is true undoubtedly to such an
extent that he is sincerely adverse
to the usual plan of working up a
"boom" for him, and as great
Democratic leader says: there is
no need of a Presidential boom
for Robert Lincoln; the name of
Lincoln is SO deeply set in the
hearts cf the Republican millions,
md the proven abilities of Robert
Lincoln are such, that he is with
,ut any BOOM" by large odds the
most available and popular Re-
publican in the country for his I

party to nominate for President.
Besides, the secret fears Of the
Democratic leaders, as quietly ex-
pressed to each other, that the
Republicans in 1888 will nominate
MIR. Lincoln for president, are the
highest compliments which any
mans political opponents can pay
him. 1t is Robert Lincoln's char
acter and splendid qualifications
which commend him for our
nominee, but in addition to these,
the thought of having an other
President Lincoln, who would be
SO worthy a successor of our
martyred ruler, who restored the
Union, would touch the grateful
hearts of our people with an en-.
thusiasm which OILY the name of
Lincoln can awaken. We can not
pile our columns of granite too
high to honor the sire, and yet if
the Martyred Chicftan lad
known that his grateful coun-
trymen would one day call his
worthy son to the high honors
they twice conferred on him, it
would have thrilled his great
heart with joy and pride which
piles of granite, reared to the skies
in his honor, could not have in
spired. 1t is true, we owe Robert
Lincoln nothing for what his
father did, but while the name is
a tower of strength to the hearts
Of millions, the qualifications,
attributes and popularity of the
man himself are such, that he is
without superior in the country.
f indeed he has an equal in these
component parts of availability

lincoln for our nominee, we would

"Sholly, the Printer"

One of our exchanges of last
week contained a long article, uns
der the caption, "Shoddy Sholly's
Agent" The article goes on to
state that it is understood among
newspaper men that there is a
snide printing house at Kirksville
that takes orders for commercial
printing and has the work done by
convict labor in the penitentiary.
The article closes by calling upon
all newspapers in North Missouri
to expose the penitentiary print
ing concern. We take pleasure in
doing our part toward exposing
this man Sholly, and only ask that
our exchange gives his patrons
the benefit of our statements.
A little more than three wears
ago Mr.. Sholly began work in the
GRAPHIC Office. About that time
it was determined to give mer-
chants cheaper stationery and of
better quality than was furnished
by any house in America. Mr..
Sholly was sent out upon the road
and did the same work for the
GRAPHIC Printing Co., that his
agents now do for him. Of course
the newspapers of the various
towns, which he visited. talked
but the more they talked the larg-
er were the orders received and
thus the business grew and in
creased. Paper was not ordered
by the ream, but by the ton, and
envelopes were bought in half
lots. A year ago it was
mutually agreed that MI. Sholly
should take entire charge of the
work. This he did
and under the name of "Sholly. |
the Printer" has not only held
the trade but greatly increased it. |
! Not a dollars worth of work has
been done outside of Kirksville. |
The goods sent out are identical
with the samples, and there is not
{ a more legitimate or honorable
business conducted anywhere in
the state than is the one in ques-
lion. Sholly's printing concern is
recognized as one of the substan-
tlal enterprises Of our town the
same as our mill, foundry, wood
works and woolen mills, and the
GRAPHIC is glad to state that there
IS nothing dishonorable either I'D
me business or methods, and tb e
same will be attested by all cur
business men. ~
